That must be a complete nightmare! Keep on at your doctor until you get it diagnosed and get some help.
funny you should mention that it happens to mzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
Get medicine for Narcolepsy
You should see adr. Maybe Chronic Fatigue or Narcolepsy?
two possibilities here, Narcolepsy, and there are medications for that, or Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Either diagnosis is made with a sleep study. Talk to your doctor quick before you do pass out at the wheel.
have you been tested for nacrolepsy?
I have diabetes and get very tired when my sugar is high. I can fall asleep pretty fast when that's the case.
Maybe you should have yourself checked again.
iron deficiency?? maybe
eat some iron rich foods and see if it works tomato ketchup has loads of iron in it thats probably the easiest way.
You need to get yourself checked by a Dr. My friend had the same symtoms and she had a Virus in her head. Yet they still can't pinpoint what it is. She is experiencing memory loss.
Please get yourself checked, she was also sleeping ALOT!!
pregnant? not taking vitamins? not getting enough sleep at night? not eating enough? someone poisoning you? narcolepsy?
You may have a form of Sleep Apnea ..this is quite serious...see you doctor and get a sleep study done.. good luck.
i think you should return to the doctor this isnt normal but im sure something can be done sorry i couldnt help more
Maybe you're short of iron. Get a bloodtest from your doctor. results take about 2 days and if so they'll give you some iron tablets. Good luck.
Ask your doctor about sleep problems
I would go to your doctors and have some blood tests taken. You may have ME, or it could be you are lacking iron, but because it affects you so severely, especially whilst driving, you must get it investigated
narcolepsy, get back to the doctor
I had the same problem! It was so weird and disconcerting, I would be walking along thinking "If I could just close my eyes for a minute" and then I would! Slept on my 10 minute breaks, slept on my lunches, would think about going back to sleep right when I got up! My doctor finally sent me to a neurologist and she diagnosed me with Narcolepsy! She prescribed me a drug called Provigil, and it has been a lifesaver. So I'd see your doctor again, and be very clear that you need help with this!
I would suggest that you investigate your hormone balance. How many of your symptoms (other problems) are on Miriam Brazel's list. This is the link to my web page regarding hormone tests and Miriam Brazel's page

1 do an on line hormone test http://www.johnleemd.com/store/resource_...
2 do an appropriate saliva test and obtain results
3 get the results & discuss with a NPIS doctor or educate your GP/MD
search the web for “natural progesterone fatigue” and you find pages such as this

You lack energy because while oestrogen dominant the message to the body is convert excess food to fat. Only when your hormones are in balance can the food and fat be used as energy.
I hope this sets you along the path to recovery
sounds like you have M E, chronic fatigue syndrome. look the condition up on the web and compare your symptoms. after, speak with your doctor about your concerns, the problem is that there are no distinctive tests to prove that you have the condition however if your symptoms look familiar, your doc can give advise from there.
Get a real good check out!
